Title: Changing Times
Warning: Very fluffy!
Note: This chapter was formally published as part of 'Musical Moments', which was a fic made up of separate little stories for each chapter, each in response to Gater 101's Music Challenge. Which involved playing a randomly generated piece of music from your player and writing whatever story comes to mind, but only for as long as the track lasts. It was challenging, but fun and resulted in seven different chapters. As I am thinking of taking some of those little stories further, I need to separate the chapters out. So, sorry for republishing (though it gives me a chance to edit out mistakes!) and sorry for those who were kind enough to leave reviews to 'Musical Moments' as I have now deleted it! I appreciated the reviews and am sorry to remove them. I highly recommend listening to the piece of music listed as you read the fic! Enjoy.

Song: One Safe Place – by Marc Cohn
Charin looked up at him and smiled her soft charming smile and John worked very hard not to pull her into his arms for a hug. She was too old for that now; well occasionally she would allow it. He wondered when she had grown up so much, hadn't she been born only yesterday?
She took the bag from his hand and turned, waving dismissively over her shoulder as she ran out into the sunlight and her young happy life. John smiled through the open doorway and watched her running to the small group of friends waiting at the end of the lawn. He watched them laugh and head off together towards school.
As he often did with his kids he found himself wondering what their friends would think if they knew his kids' real identity; that their mother was from another galaxy. It was a family secret that was studiously kept by all the family and their trips back to Pegasus were enjoyed by all. Well, maybe not Charin at the moment, as it meant being away from her friends.
John turned from the doorway and found Teyla watching him with a gentle smile on her lips. "Can we have another one?" He asked.
